    10 Pumpkin Projects to Sew for Fall

    October 5, 2020 /

    10 Pumpkin Projects to sew for fall It’s time to spice things up with pumpkin projects that are easily doable before Halloween and last long after into the fall season. Pumpkin Carving Ok, so this one doesn’t involve sewing. But, you CAN use your sewing supplies to help carve adorable pumpkins with ease! Simply use Sulky Stick ‘n Carve™ to transfer your pumpkin design straight to the gourd, and cut right through it. Just like Sulky Stick ‘n Stitch™, Stick ‘n Carve is water-soluble, so it washes away completely when carving is complete. Halloween Tree Cross Stitch Grab these threads and cross-stitch some spooky wall art using the link above!…

    Pumpkin Carving Tools for Success (even with kids!)

    October 9, 2019 /

    Pumpkin Carving Tools for Success Pumpkin carving tools are made for a reason – carving a pumpkin is hard work! From scraping out all the guts to carving the actual jack-o-lantern, it’s exhausting work–especially if you’re carving more than one or creating an elaborate scene. Now, the pumpkins shown above were carved by my three small children. So there were no elaborate scenes going on here. However, I will say that they did them all by themselves! Even my five-year-olds drew the faces and carved their pumpkins without help. Sulky Stick ‘n Carve made it so that they didn’t have to draw directly onto their pumpkins. If they made a…
